China Rouge

"China Rouge" - Captured by Naomi Thomson

This Chinese tea cup was a gift from my French-speaking, Mandarin-learning friend, Magdalene.  She spent a bit of time in China last year and loved it, so she's headed back this summer again... Have an amazing time Magdalene!  You will be missed; and I'll look forward to hearing all of your cool stories when you get back.  :)

I love the rain.  Taking this picture meant walking around outside in my red rubber boots, snapping photos of rain drops on the tips of leaves and listening to the rain getting caught in the trees.  

The air is so fresh after a good rain... I can't get enough of it.  Glad rain is in the forecast for various times during the rest of my life; I hope I always love it the way I do now.

China Blue

Hi there.  My name is Naomi, and I love pictures.  I have a great camera, which I often think I don't deserve... Except that I love it, so I guess I might a little bit.  ;) 

This blog is for all of my favorite pictures.  Because, I think, they ought to be enjoyed if they *possibly* can!  I am a self-proclaimed photographer with no formal training; just the experience of the pictures on this blog.

I hope these pictures inspire you as much as they do me. Thanks for stopping in, and I hope this blog sees you back, many times in the future.

Back soon!
